Analysts Expect Bigblu Broadband plc (LON:BBB) To Breakeven Soon
We feel now is a pretty good time to analyse Bigblu Broadband plc's (LON:BBB) business as it appears the company may be on the cusp of a considerable accomplishment. Bigblu Broadband plc provides satellite, and wireless broadband telecommunications and related products and services in Australia and the Nordics.

Bigblu Broadband is bordering on breakeven, according to some British Telecom analysts. They expect the company to post a final loss in 2021, before turning a profit of UK£900k in 2022. Therefore, the company is expected to breakeven roughly 12 months from now or less. At what rate will the company have to grow in order to realise the consensus estimates forecasting breakeven in under 12 months? Using a line of best fit, we calculated an average annual growth rate of 151%, which is rather optimistic! If this rate turns out to be too aggressive, the company may become profitable much later than analysts predict.
Underlying developments driving Bigblu Broadband's growth isn’t the focus of this broad overview, but, bear in mind that typically a high forecast growth rate is not unusual for a company that is currently undergoing an investment period.
Before we wrap up, there’s one aspect worth mentioning. Bigblu Broadband currently has no debt on its balance sheet, which is rare for a loss-making growth company, which usually has a high level of debt relative to its equity. This means that the company has been operating purely on its equity investment and has no debt burden. This aspect reduces the risk around investing in the loss-making company.
